This book is an older version of Dr. Reading's "Trace Your Genes to Health." Trace Your Genes to Health: Use Your Family Tree to Guide Your Diet, Enhance Your Immune System and Overcome Chronic Disease Better to get the newer version. As a recently diagnosed gluten sensitive person, I read "Trace Your Genes" and was amazed at the correlations in my family, including my brother's celiac, my cousin's colon cancer, my father's obvious (but never discussed) gas and indigestion problems and my mothers anemia and heart problems, not to mention the tell-tale signs and genetic markers he outlines in his book. It all started to make sense. I wish I had this knowledge 20 years ago when it would have mattered to all of them. Fortunately for you, this book was written by a medical doctor (and psychiatrist), so it will be more credible to (and help to dismiss doubt from) your doctor. This book can very likely help you and can help your doctor help you on your road to health.

Your family tree is a book that may save your life!

What better gift to your family than a tool to improve their health? Your Family Tree Connection provides a step-by-step guide for identifying and reducing your risk of developing illnesses which result from an interraction of inherited genes and environmental toxins. These identified conditions suggest the need for special dietary interventions which this book outlines. Dr. Reading reports on the recovery of several cancer patients following dietary intervention, in addition to conventional treatments. He also reports a number of dramatic recoveries from very serious autoimmune and other ailments which can be alleviated by dietary restriction of some foods which are relatively recent additions to the human food supply. This book would make a wonderful gift for those who are struggling with autoimmunity or malignant conditions. It may offer them a new lease on life. I found it a wonderful and informative work; one that could have saved some of my family members from many years of suffering.I hope that is helpful. best wishes, Ron hoggan

Informative and very interesting

This book gives you an insight into how illness that may have plagued your family years ago, or still do, can affect YOU. All throughout the book you come accross intersting facts about the connection your health has with that of your ancestors. I believe that most people would never know that their medical conditions could be understood better and from that, treated more effectively if the doctor could see the family's history. The research, expertise and the way it is written is all credit to the two authors. I would recommend this book to anybody who has a medical problem and would like to see if research into their family history could improve their condition. I know that this book can help.
